CELMARC

WINTER CEREALS / WINTER RAPE

Brassica napus L. Metzg.

Developed by: KWS SAAT SE, Germany

Registered: 1992 in Germany, 2018 in Lithuania

Winter rapeseed hybrid with medium early, high, very high yield potential, greater resistance to fomosis and pod opening

Very high yield potential

It develops intensively in the fall and starts later in the spring

The plants are tall

Resistance to lodging is very high

Phomosis resistant (has the RLM7 gene)

Tolerance to verticillosis is noted

The average growing season is 205 days

The average seed yield is 6.03 t/ha

Seed yield potential – 7.20 t/ha

The height of the plants is 168 cm 

Resistance to lying down - 8.3 points (1 point - very bad resistance, 9 - very good resistance)

Resistance to seed shedding from pods -8.9 points (1 point - very bad resistance, 9 - very good resistance)

Winter hardiness - 6.8 points (1 point - the crop is very thinned, 9 points - the crop is not thinned)

The weight of 1000 seeds are 4.13 g

Oil content - 47.9%

Type 00 of rapeseed varieties according to the content of erucic acid and glucosinolates

Erucic acid - 0.1%

The amount of glucosinolates is 13.10 μmol/g

In the field trials to determine the disease of plant varieties, in which no chemical means of disease control were used, rapeseed of the 'MarcKWS' variety was damaged by the following diseases: black spot (Alternaria brassicae), fomosis (Phoma lingam), verticillium (Verticillium dahliae) and white rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum)

Damage caused by fomosis - 6-8 points (1 - non-resistant variety, 9 points - very resistant variety)

Black spot damage - 5-8 points (1 - non-resistant variety, 9 points - highly resistant variety)

White rot damage - 6-8 points (1 - non-resistant variety, 9 points - very resistant variety)

Verticillosis damage - 8 points (1 - non-resistant variety, 9 points - highly resistant variety)

*Economic value studies were conducted in 2015-2017. Kaunas, Plunge and 2016. In the departments of the AVT

Under different growing conditions than those found in these studies, cultivar parameters may differ from those given here.
